Dueling demonstrations

In Lebanon they are having another Lebanese freedom demonstration to show opposition to they Syrian-backed government. This one seems to have dwarfed the previous pro-Syrian demostration last week. There are reports of 1.5 to 2 million people (half the population of Lebanon) gathering in Beirut.
PubliusPundit says that cities and towns are practically empty as people walk, bike, ride to the capital for the demonstration. He has LOTS on what's going on today, so I recommend visiting his looooong post.
He also has this FOX interview with Walid Phares about why the pro-Syrian demonstrations won't stop or even slow down Lebanese independence from Syria.
